Howard Matthews Obituary
Howard W. Matthews, 80, of Portage Vale, passed away peacefully at The Moncton Hospital on Saturday, December 2, 2023. Born in Moncton, he was the son of the late Currie and Vera (Bishop) Matthews.
Howard was a kitchen designer by trade, and for over 50 years owned and operated a Christmas tree farm and lot, which brought him great joy. He was a lover of the outdoors, whether it was fishing, hunting or ATVing. He enjoyed watching sports, especially hockey and Blue Jays baseball, and also enjoyed a good game of cards or cribbage. But most important to Howard was his relationships with his family and lifelong friends, socializing and spending time with those near to him was so important, he carried the title of “Professional Grandfather”.
He will be sadly missed by the mother of his children and dear friend, Roberte Matthews; his children, Elaine Matthews-Belone (Carlton Belone) and David Matthews (Christy Elliott-Matthews); his grandchildren, Jacob, Benjamin, Gabrielle, Devan, Lola, Willow, Josh and Ethan; as well as his many extended family members and friends.
In keeping with Howard’s families wishes there will be no visitation hours or funeral service. The family will hold a celebration of his wonderful life in the summer of 2024.
